Is this not beautiful?!! Wow!

While I was away the mailman delivered a wonderful package for me from my blogging friend, Amy. It was full of wonderful treasures...many beautiful doilies and this square tablecloth. I just love everything! Thank you Amy!!! She had asked on her blog if anyone was interested in some doilies and I responded, never dreaming what beautiful things she would send. I've been wishing for a special cloth for my tea partys' and here it is...=). I'll be posting other pictures by and by. These are such works of art they should be shared, I feel absolutely rich!

gramma_s said...: The doilies are beautiful, and I love the teapot. I'm glad you got them, although from the sound of your comments, you'd better keep them in a safe place. It's fun to get mail when you get a package. But the other day I got a free tote in the mail and I thought I could live without it, but ususally a package is delightful. And you certainly got a delightful package.; 3:20 PM

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
